Gregg Bell joined The News Tribune in July 2014. Bell had been the director of writing for the University of Washington's athletic department for four years. He was the senior national sports writer in Seattle for The Associated Press from 2005-10, covering the Seahawks in their first Super Bowl season and beyond. He's also been The Sacramento Bee's beat writer on the Oakland Athletics and Raiders. The native of Steubenville, Ohio, is a 1993 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., and a 2000 graduate of the University of California, Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism.

The last time SEA played STL, week 8, RW got sacked 6 times, hit once and hurried twice. RW was trapped in the pocket. Last week vs TB, STL got 8 sacks (3 by Quinn). Week 8, ML was the SEA hero of the game. On average this season, STL’s run D has been about a fifth as successful as AZ’s. I sure hope ML and the SEA OL will run the ball clear round the goalpost every time…

Been following Hawks extremely closely over the past year and a half after having been a laid-back fan for 30 years prior.

After regular study of the coaches film available through NFL Game Pass, I humbly ask fans and media out there to lend an ear to my biggest suggestion on offense: Start Michael Bowie at left guard !!!

I have witnessed soooo many lack of executions (“LOE’s”) by McQuistan and Carp in the run and passing game out of their guard position (this excludes Paul’s work at left tackle). And Bowie was almost sensational at the guard position against the Cardinals Dec 21.

The only problem I see is the “human” one with regards to Carp. Cable has to be concerned with his morale if he’s into the back-up position to a rookie. And Carp being a 1st round choice makes it even harder from a front-office perspective.
